Almond Cookie Crumble Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350.

Mix all almond cookie ingredients together, except the coconut oil. Add the oil and mix until the batter is clumpy.

Then use your hands to form the dough into a ball. Line a cookie sheet with greased parchment paper, and lay down the batter.

Press the batter flat, about ¼ inch thick. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Allow to cool for 20 minutes, before breaking into pieces.

Date-Caramel Instructions

If your dates aren't soft, fill a small pot with water just enough to cover the dates. Place on the stove on high and bring to a boil, once the water is boiling reduce heat to a simmer for 3-5 minutes. After 5ish minutes, take off the heat, drain the water and toss the dates into a blender or food processor.

Once your dates are soft add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Put in a bowl and set aside. (Can store - covered - in fridge for up to a week!)

Recipe Notes

*** If you want regular 'ole chocolate pudding instead of salted tahini, just substitute 1/4-1/3 cup extra almond milk for the tahini and remove the salt!

In my craving for Halloween candy, I had the genius epiphany that if I took the Almond Cookie Crumble from my Key Lime Pie Breakfast Parfait, layered it with the Date-Caramel I put on my Savory Granola Pancakes, and topped it off with some Salted Tahini Chocolate Pudding I basically had a grown up (and health-ified) version of a Twix bar in a parfait form. BOOM. Have I ever had a more genius idea in my life??? Probably not. (Let’s just hope my ideas don’t peak here.) BUUUUTTTT truthfully, if this is my highest dessert accomplishment I can die happy. IT TASTES SO FREAKING GOOD.

This is defiantly a “mature” version of a Twix. This is due to a number of things, but mostly due to the fact that you are using salted tahini chocolate pudding instead of just regular ‘ole chocolate. BUT, if you want it to be a normal chocolate flavor, try replacing the tahini with about 1/4-1/3 cup of almond milk. This will keep it creamy, but won’t give you the rich, earthy flavor of tahini.

Let’s talk about the other element to this pudding parfait that makes it “grown up” – the healthiness factor. Here’s what health-ifies this Twix-inspired pudding parfait…

Naturally sweetened (aka. no refined sugar!)

No flour.

No dairy.

Full of healthy fats like avocado, coconut oil, and tahini.

Made with cacao, which is packed with antioxidants!

You see? There are health-ier ways to indulge in the treats we all love. You don’t have to sacrifice your health to do it! YAY for having it all! YAY FOR HEALTH AND HAPPINESS.

Whhhhat!?? This is INCREDIBLE! In middle school I was obsessed with twix (who wasn’t?). This is genius! I don’t know if it is your most genius idea ever, but if it was my idea it would be MY MOST GENIUS IDEA EVER! I can’t wait to try this. <3 <3 <3!!

Hahaha!! I did the same thing. That was my vending machine lunch. My mom sent me to school with money thinking I would get something from the cafeteria, but I always just got twix 😉 My friends always made fun of me because I never had anything else.
